For my project this week, I decided to go with a jumbo tag and use a bit of Dyan's Dylusions (background) as well as Wendy's Studio 490 (background and sentiment), and a trusty old favorite Jolee's Boutique. I love the colors of this challenge so much and this tag was very fun to make. It can be used for so many different occasions as well.

May ATC's

At the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group, there was a challenge for making a Wendified (yes, that's a word) ATC. I created mine for my bestie Paula who is about to go on a creative trip with me. She never reads my blog, much to my chagrin, so it's okay that I show it before she gets it. As it happens, Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stamper challenge this week is "queens & crowns", and The Stamp Man Challenge is "card for a queen" so this was perfect!
 

This month at the All Things Tim Yahoo Group the ATC swap challenge is "yellow".  You will remember these brightly dressed cuties from my A Man's Home Is His Castle. They were my extras. I knew I would use them for something.

Supplies For Treat Me Like A Queen ATC:
Art Chix Studio- crown



Supplies For Warm Season Trio:
From My Stash- flower


I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
